JUBA， Nov. 21 (Xinhua) -- South Sudan seeks to make education accessible for girls and women by 2040 in an effort to reduce gender inequality in education， the education minister said Monday.
Minister of General Education and Instruction Deng Deng Hoc said his ministry is pushing for implementation of a policy that calls for allocating national budget to education， training more teachers and enriching programs that empower women and girls before expiration of the 2040 blueprint that aims to build an informed， educated and innovative nation.
""We know we have more girls and women than men in this country， so it makes an economic sense that we promote gender equality in education，"" Hoc said in Juba during the country's annual education review conference.
The conference convenes educationists to discuss achievements and failures of the education sector during the past 12 months.
South Sudan has one of the lowest literacy rates in the world as only 15 percent of women and 40 percent of men in the country's 8-million population are able to read or write， according to a 2008 census.
Hoc said the country has made significant progress in advancing girls' education as the number of girls in primary schools has increased to nearly 1 million in 2015 compared to less than a quarter of a million in 2006.
He said the country has also increased the quality of education by increasing the number of teachers in the country from 19， 000 in 2006 to 37，000 in 2015， and the government-led Girls Education South Sudan initiative is now supporting 130，000 school girls in South Sudan.
He however said the outbreak of conflict in December 2013 has hampered government's progress in building schools and allocating resources for education -- only 3 percent of the country's 20152016 budget is allocated for education.
Tizie Maphalala， an education specialist with UN children's agency (UNICEF)， called on the South Sudanese government to uphold its constitutional mandate of giving 10 percent of fiscal allocation to education to improve the quality of education and also return 1.8 million out-of-school children back to the classroom.
A report by UNICEF released in September said South Sudan is the second country in the world after Liberia with the highest proportion of out-of-school children.
The report adds that 1.8 million children are missing out on their right to a primary education and 1 in every 3 schools are closed due to conflict.

DHAKA Mike Hoffman Jersey , March 14 (Xinhua) -- Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has again ruled out the possibility of any dialogue with the main opposition alliance chief.
"No dialogue with her (ex-Prime Minister Khaleda Zia). Can't talk with a killer whose hands are stinking with stench of burning people," she said while addressing at a rally of her Bangladesh Awami League (AL) party on Saturday in the city.
Hasina Jean-Gabriel Pageau Jersey , also president of AL, questioned Craig Anderson Jersey , "who will talk to a militant leader like Khaleda who is responsible for killing even infants and expectant mothers in the name of politics?"
The Bangladeshi PM on several occasions in the last couple months expressed her reluctance to hold talks with two-time former PM Khaleda regarding fresh elections.
Khaleda's Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and its allies have enforced non-stop countrywide blockade since Jan. 6, demanding fresh parliament elections under a non-party caretaker government system.
On top of its blockade campaign Ryan Dzingel Jersey , the opposition alliance has been enforcing countrywide strike at regular intervals since January.
Fresh wave of political violence has left scores of people dead, mostly in arson attacks.
The BNP chief has denied involvement of her alliance men in violence. She rather blamed ruling party for unpleasant incidents to divert people's attention from her anti-government movements.
Hasina on Saturday not merely ruled out possibility of holding dialogue but also reiterated her comment to go tough against all those responsible for creating countrywide anarchic situation.
Meanwhile Nate Thompson Jersey , she asked Khaleda to shun the path of violence, saying Zack Smith Jersey , "people have rejected your movement."
Erode is a city situated in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu is a
south Indian state and as we are going to converse a topic on education in
schools so, we need to affirm you first that South India is very much inclined
towards education and degrees. This region of India is very much developed
regarding education and in regards of development education matters a lot. If
illiteracy rate in any place is not less comparing with the literacy rate then
that place can never be addressed or considered as developed place because there
would be many people who due to illiteracy cannot be employed anywhere or some
of them may not be able to do anything else also to earn remuneration for
survival.
So Tom Pyatt
Jersey , south Indian government has always been aware of this fact
and never gives up making constructive changes in its schemes and programs.
Tamil Nadu government, ever since India got the path to make it developed and
started working accordingly Bobby Ryan
Jersey , started acting as active and conscious government to give
new angles to all its cities including Erode too. Government is the main apex in
any place which is also elected or created by our citizens only to take care and
tackle all the issues of a certain place. So, Erode as a positive and
appreciable result is now flourishing with good numbers of schools like nursery
schools Kyle Turris
Jersey , play schools and international schools too.
All the
schools are well-facilitated and having world class educationists for delivering
knowledge to the society. Children, who are already pursuing or attended schools
have made positive opinions and that is why educationists of our country have
credited these schools among best and ready to invest more money for
